Proverbs 11
Inspired thots
There will always be CONSEQUENCES to every Choice made in life; that is the Principle of Life. You reap what you sow. How important to BE CAREFUL to SOW rightly for GOOD Reaps!
Every action is noted by the Lord; He is the Rewarder and Judge. He blesses those who remain steadfast in His commandments while punishment is in store for those who flaunt His instructions.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

How Would YOU Live Life?
Proverbs 10
Inspired thots
There are ALWAYS CHOICES in life; which choice depends on the HEART. There is the Righteous and the Godly versus the Wicked and Self.
The contrasts are made with end results clearly stated. Would one heed and be wise? for the end will come; either at the end of the situation or at the end of one's life. If not, on Judgment Day! Where would one stand then? It may be too late.
If one Fears God, then let the SELF be disposed and let GOD reign within through Wisdom who leads in paths of Righteousness that please God. Take note of the END before Choosing the MEANS.

CONTRAST between Righteous and Wicked
Proverbs 10
Inspired thots
Again and again the Lord reminds through His word to embrace RIGHTEOUSNESS steadfastly over Wickedness. The contrast is great; the consequences are deep. The Lord is on the Righteous' side; blessings come. All are blest with the righteous; the wicked brings on transgression and destruction.
Choose Righteousness over Wickedness; the Former is a virtue of God; the Latter is the Self trying to glorify itself.

Contrasting Invitations
Proverbs 9
Inspired thots
Just as much as WISDOM extends her invitation to the simple to be wise, FOOLISHNESS extends the same to lure through deception.
The invites are so different; so contrasting. Wisdom appeals to the Right way and Consequences while Foolishness appeals to the forbidden; the unseen; covetousness through tasting the 'stolen' and personal satisfaction through secretive actions. It is the I, ME, MINE factor at play with Foolishness. It tries to lure even those who are on the Straight path. How cunning! What guile! Great deception.
One should leave SIMPLICITY to cleave to WISDOM for the added years of life from God!

Wisdom at the Doorstep
Proverbs 8
Inspired thots
Wisdom is SO near yet many miss it; she cries aloud to the sons of man; yet they hear not. How sad!
There are so many benefits to securing wisdom.
Only NOBLE things are spoken; the TRUTH is uttered and RIGHTEOUSNESS prevails. But it is only those who UNDERSTAND will hear her call.
There is NOTHING comparable to Wisdom. COUNSEL, Soundness, Insight, Strength are virtues of Wisdom. Why do we not embrace it readily? Kings reign; princes rule; the nobles govern. Wisdom was with God before the world began. How enlightening! As old as God! It is God's daily delight; why is it not ours too? Why does man miss out on the best which is right before him?
Pride and sin are the greatest hindrances to wisdom. They blind.

The Downward Path
Proverbs 7
Inspired thots
How important to be steadfast in God's ways and listen to the good advice of well-intention parents! They lead us to stay on the RIGHT path. How tempting to be swayed aside and be wayward if the foundation is not firm; how difficult to be restored. How sad! One wrong decision; a moment of reckoning; a giving in to temptation and curiosity; ... leads to eternal condemnation and self destruction.
The severity of the impact and choice leads to a constant reminder ... Be On Guard! Stay Alert! Be Steadfast in the Right Ways! BE Strong! Turn NOT to the Left or Right! Be Reminded of the END before the START!
Lord, we need Your Grace!

Life's Issues
Proverbs 6
Inspired thots
So many aspects of life that one should consider wisely in living. It is essential for a healthy lifestyle in every facet of life.
1) Surety to another is a danger trap which one can fall into out of good deed. Avoid getting into it; get out of it asap. This is the only solution. Do not endanger self.
2) Work hard like the ant; be prepared in and out of season. Be disciplined in life through good time management.
3) God wants His people to live healthy lifestyles without causing harm and hurt to others; for all are His creation.
4) Last but not least, avoid covetousness that leads to adultery. Promiscuity is not acceptable. Why desire another when one already has a faithful wife? There is no perfect couple; a lifelong process of adjustment to develop a more fragrant relationship.
I wonder... do not those who commit adultery feel guilty? Are they not fearful of God's wrath?
Never take the first step; dont succumb to the evil desires of the heart; that's how adultery will start!
